The last inclusions in our contest were quite the sight to see! I am so thankful for all of the dedicated concept creators who entered this month. However, only one can be crowned this month's winner.

For this challenge, our winner is u/inpersonage2 with their concept The Dagda, the Good God! The character's design maintained a fair radius within the established range of our rules, and provided an interesting focus on the harvest-based design. Congratulations to the winner!

After we leave the harvest I'm afraid, the crops thicken and blockade our path. Our allies rise to the challenge to give us:

Rising Heroes

Create a god who embodies the greater spirits of mortals who broke the mold. Many gods already inhabit the world of Smite, but many hold advantages to far surpassing that of mortals; even Hercules is the son of Zeus!

Our hero needs to be without special heritage, but instead someone who will go beyond what is expected of them to defend their loved ones, or themselves, Examples:

• Ariadne (Greek): Wife of Dionysus and daughter of Midas, they represent the clever and adventurous nature of a sailor against greater odds.
• Psyche (Roman): Bride of Cupid, she steals the love of both Cupid and Aphrodite, knowing how their minds truly works.
• Jun and Wuqub (Mayan): Powerful twin brothers known for thwarting the afterlife with their trickery and athleticism
• Betal (Hindu): The most mortal of representations when describing lord Shiva, Betal is a wielder of both a skull bowl and a sword, using both to defend his people and rule the ghosts whom he protects
